The best cover ever is Jeff Buckley's version of Lenard Cohns "hallelujah".

No particular order, except for the first artist...
Johnny Cash - Hurt (NIN) and If You Could Read My Mind (Gordon Lightfoot)
Smashing Pumpkins - Landslide (Fleetwood Mac)
Manic Street Preachers - Suicide Is Painless (Cast of M*A*S*H)
Nightwish - Over The Hills And Far Away (Gary Moore)
Within Temptation - Running Up That Hill (Kate Bush)
Disturbed - Land Of Confusion (Genesis)

Unlike a lot of people, I love cover versions. I remember a couple of years ago Jo Whiley was slagging off the very idea of covers on Radio 1 - so, I e-mailed her and told her "Jo, if you were out to provoke a reaction, or a debate, it worked - what about the Manics' Suicide Is Painless?" She reluctantly conceded I did have a point. Very Happy


Ah, good, another covers nut Smile

As well as all those I’ve mentioned at various times in this thread, I recently dug up Alabama 3’s cover of "Hotel California" and (for the mellower moments) Nils Lofgren’s cover of "All I Have To Do Is Dream". Not my all-time favourite covers, but still quite good.

Still can't decide which is my all-time favourite cover, but Die Toten Hosens' unplugged version of "Guns Of Brixton" (from the 'Nur zur Besuch - Unplugged im Wiener Burgtheater' album) is pretty high on my list.

(And I agree with Shinjitsu, I want to know why they switched the colours of the cheese & onion and salt & vinegar crisp packets? What’s that all about? I still open the wrong ones……)

Yes! Yes! Thank you, It isn't just me after all... Laughing




Oh, and another cover I played today was Ed Kuepper's version of "Highway To Hell" (3 versions on 3 different albums, an acoustic version, a studio version, and a live version - spoilt for choice)

(For those who don't know, Ed Kuepper was one of the founder members of The Saints - don't know who The Saints were? Sigh......1976, (I'm)Stranded.....No? Never mind.....)
